Configure release staging with Jenkins, Gradle Artifactory plugin

Question

I have Artifactory (non-Artifactory Pro version!) with Jenkins and its Gradle Artifactory plugin and want to setup release staging.

As I can't choose the release repository (it is disabled) while performing the release I was wondering if this already requires Artifactory Pro?

For the job configuration I see an option Custom staging configuration with only one option: None? What is this Custom staging configuration for and how can I customize this?

Are there other options to setup this efficiently for a project built with Gradle. As of now I have tried to delegate as much as possible to Jenkins and its Plugins.

Artifactory release management functionality is only available in Artifactory Pro version.

Custom staging profile feature allows you select a staging profile user plugin, that is deployed in Artifactory (also a Pro feature).

You're more than welcome to try those on an evaluation license. If you find the license price too heavy for you, please take a look at Artifactory SaaS version - it's a fully pledged Pro instance in a cloud, and you only pay per use per month.
